Title: Play choice 10 coin accepter information (Solved)
Post by: Avid_e_o_Gamer on January 08, 2014, 10:36:21 pm
Kind of a noob at all of this but got one side working on my play choice 10 coin accepter :)
well actually both side work, I can flick the base thing a ma bob to get credit and so on both but when I bought the unit it was missing one of the plastic guide piece that tunnels the coin to the drop box or rejects a bad coin (hope I described it well) on my unit its the tan colored part between all the metal stuff. so I guess my question is are all arcade coin guides the same or do I need a specific fitting one made for the PC-10 which ever way id also like to know where to get one what they are called so I can better search for one
also any information on the coin accepter coin sine/art what should it look like (the piece of paper that is lit up and usualy tells you what denomination of coin should go there) on mine they are different want the unit to look as close to factory as possible :P I know im being picky but I am OCD when it comes to my collection

thanks to any and all that reply :)

Have a photo of the coin mech? Nintendo used Asahi Seiko coin mechs on the DK style cabinets. The later stuff probably has your standard coin mechs.

i guess if id have to choose it looks a lot like the second photo link but it is a plastic inter casing not metal
perhaps it was gutted and replaced that would be my guess
so you said the second one is a standered?
where coild i get them?

They come in plastic too. They are all pretty standard.
